Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:54:56 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=305961#comment-413513@9 ofc, I didn’t say that I would not be interested in the infos, but it was about the “oh its weaker than PS3 and 360…what a shitty console I will not buy it”-folks. Thats my problem. It was related to the comments like this here.

Started with the Wii after I had my PC and PS3 and its the same fun (sometimes more) as on the faster/stronger consoles. Even the Web Browser works better on the Wii…so specs has nothing to say when you cant get the hardware to its peak performance or code in the right way. Tried a VGA adapter on Dreamcast with Alone in the Dark 4….the pre-rendered backgrounds look like next-gen.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think you’re missing a trick. People care because they want to know if it’s better than what they’ve already got. If it is, they might buy it, if it isn’t then what would be the point? It has nothing to do with measuring one’s penis in gigahertz, it’s to do with informed consumer choice. Nintendo appears to still be doing its level best to hide the nitty gritty truth about its console and so some people here are – justifiably – sceptical and irritated. If you are a PC gamer, you wouldn’t replace your graphics card with something which delivers the same power, and no amount of ‘but the games are fun’ can change that. Console gamers aren’t all that different.

That’s really all there is to it.

@3 Define “powerful” please. Tech specs have changed during the year, you don’t measure the power of something with just megahertz and bytes.

P.S. I’m more a Nintendo “hater” than a “fan”, but technology is technology

Having said that, i wonder what are the benefits for having the CPU/GPU combine not separeted, i wonder if it is for keeping the performance of the graphics alongside the interface with the gamepad.
